No my friend. This is just a competition. If you do not like the product, PLEASE do not enter.

>2. Pointless, since radio stations can afford the best with all the payola they get?

Not everyone can afford a professional-level radio station that costs thousands of dollars.

>3. Really the latest version of KaZaA?

You are clueless.

>4. Going to crash at every Celine Dion song?

If your radio station is going to play Celine Dion's songs, you better close your "shop" today.

>5. Of limited value running on a dead OS?

Depends how you see it. When you are running a radio station, you want all its power to go on it. You don't watch videos at the same time, or render a 3D scene. Therefore, even if it runs on a dead OS, or DOS, or in BIOS, or via a calculator, it does not matter. The OS is free, and the fact that it is BeOS and not something else, it does not matter. What it matters is that TuneTracker does a hell of a job for less money, and runs better under this "utility" OS that will make sure it will run your radio station. What OS that is, it is no concern of you.

Have you ever heard of the embedded market?
Does it matter what OS your DVD or VHS is running on?

I have no experience in radio or with TuneTracker, but to see the length of time a "dead platform" can hang around, look at the cable tv stations STILL using Amiga 2000s equipped with Video Toasters for various uses (such as commercial production and community billboard type stuff).

Just because a platform is dead to you doesn't mean it's dead to the world...Mon, 03 Jun 2002 07:15:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous)CommentsWow...http://www.osnews.com/thread?

http://www.osnews.com/thread?1. A sign of the lengths people will go to find something to run on BeOS?

Actually, development time for this product was cutted down because they didn't have to reinvent the wheel in order to support most features.

Anyway, I know a lot of banks you are still using OS/2.... which is dead, unless you consider eComStation anything good.

2. Pointless, since radio stations can afford the best with all the payola they get?

You obviously didn't read the article. Just a nice little quote:

"TuneTracker is targeted at a different market than the big dogs are, which is why we're keeping the price so low", says Dane Scott of TuneTracker Systems. "We want the small commercial operations, non-profit and non-commercial stations, LPFM, streaming Internet stations, broadcast classes, drive-by radio, hospital radio, and all the other emerging venues for radio broadcasting that need more quality than they think they can afford... We've done things with this package that have never been done in this price range before, and it'll be exciting to see what happens with it."

So, while at it, want to get hospitals in Palestine to buy a new IBM super computer?

3. Really the latest version of KaZaA?

Kazaa is an P2P shareware, totally unrelated.

4. Going to crash at every Celine Dion song?

Radio stations don't normally use consumer CDs.

5. Of limited value running on a dead OS?

Tell that to ATM managers that run OS/2.

6. Better than iTunes?

iTunes is a consumer jukebox program. When it was first release, it couldn't even get Internet radio, no less in creating one.

Talk about humorless and ornery... Is everybody but me into wearing hair shirts and cursing the darkness? Sheesh!

LOL, if you have spoken anything with facts lately...

I have run BeOS 5.0x with an AMD Duron 850 on a KT133 chipset mainboard (the Asus A7Pro) w/o any difficulty. No special "drivers" or configuration needed.

However, there is apparently some special configs needed for newer AMD cores (see other posts to that effect Mon, 03 Jun 2002 13:58:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous)CommentsRe: KT133 mainboardshttp://www.osnews.com/thread?

I'm just checking. I'm downloading it right now. Hopefully, it would play nice to my C-Media sound card and Intel 850m GPU. Hopefully too it would play nice with 128mb of RAM (cause apparently, KDE 3.0 can't). And hopefully with my D-Link NIC 10/100 card...

If it's anything like the Windows or Linux version, I'd pass. But my mind is open....

I'll have to say Net+, but unfortunately it is way behind the times and the guys working on Net Optimist hope to recapture the spirit in Net+ with some latest and greatest techno!

I didn't know you were a BeOS user (or an ex-one)..

due to frustration, i'm pushing back downloading for a week. I started to download it at midnight, at 1:30am it stop, half way through.

BeZilla is a lot like the windows and Linux versions actually, except slower and less stable. When it comes to rendering HTML, it's the only thing that does it properly under BeOS, though.

I'm hoping someone will take the Gecko rendering engine and build something less bloated around it.Tue, 04 Jun 2002 16:13:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous)CommentsManik: Missing library in Mozillahttp://www.osnews.com/thread?
